Children in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 are assessed upon an ‘Expected Standard’ to meet via a formal assessment (SATs). This standard is represented by children achieving 100+ on a scaled score in SATs tests. Those children who achieve 110+ are identified as working to a ‘Higher Standard than expected’. A school will publish the average scaled score in each subject to indicate the attainment of the group as a whole although children will receive their individual scores.

The progress measure for the year group indicates whether the children, collectively, have made progress ‘below’, ‘in line with’ or ‘above’ expectation. A positive progress score indicates above, a negative score indicates below and zero would indicate expected progress.
